In Chip Buster, the object is to keep your computer circuit board in working order by running about the tracks repairing damaged components. The damage is caused by "bugs" which "byte" large holes in the board.

To repair to board, you must move the man so that both feet are on the damaged part, then hammer away until the part is repaired. Bugs may be killed with the hammer, but only when they are chewing.

When the countdown timer has reached zero, your bonuses will be given and the next board will contain more bugs. From level 9 onwards, the tracks become invisible.
